Life doesn’t pause when you’re building a practice.

For Dr Evangeline Alphonse, that meant fitting her project around study and work. We took the time to understand her schedule and how she preferred to communicate, then worked our project approach around her.

Here, she shares how that support made the experience feel seamless, keeping her involved and informed while giving her room to focus on life outside of the project.

Every two minutes, someone needs the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

This October, team OPTIMA is taking part in the RFDS Oceans to Outback, where we will walk, run and ride to raise funds for healthcare across remote, rural and regional Australia.

The RFDS delivers 65 primary healthcare clinics every day and flies more than 112,000 Australians in need each year. Every kilometre we cover and every dollar raised will help keep this vital service flying.

The design of a veterinary clinic has a direct impact on how animals and their owners experience care.

Separate dog and cat waiting areas reduce visual contact, noise and unfamiliar interactions, helping create a calmer arrival. Dedicated wards continue this separation through treatment and recovery, allowing each environment to respond to the different needs of its patients.

Explore how we used intuitive design for Portside Vet Care's new clinic to reduce stress, support clinical care and create a better client and pet experience:

The challenge:
25 staff.
100 patients per day.
One patient seen every 2-3 minutes.
A practice to support future growth.

The result:
Double the chair capacity.
Double the waiting room capacity.
30% revenue growth in the first 12 months.

These are the numbers that matter to practice owners, which is why we design for growth in mind from the start.

Myth: Healthcare practices are sterile, clinical, cold environments.

Truth: We design and build spaces that prove the stereotype wrong.

PROJECT UPDATE | Orthodontic Practice Fitout, NSW
Stage: Demolition complete & chair services marked out

With demolition complete and chair services now marked out, the blank canvas has been prepared for the build ahead.

It may still be difficult to envision, but this open space will soon become an efficient 9-chair orthodontic practice, bringing two existing practices together under one roof.

PROJECT FEATURE | Supersmile Orthodontist – Canberra, ACT
________________________________________
GFA: 309m²
Type: Orthodontic practice design and fitout

Details:
8-chair orthodontic practice
3 private surgeries
5-chair open treatment area
Expanded reception and waiting areas
Dedicated CBCT, sterilisation and laboratory spaces

After previously working with OPTIMA on their flagship new build practice in Aranda, returned to us when their existing Canberra City practice could no longer support their growing patient volume and day-to-day operations.

The brief was to find a suitable full floor tenancy close to their existing city location, and create a larger, more efficient practice with improved patient flow, greater treatment capacity and better facilities for a team treating around 100 patients each day.

OPTIMA found the perfect location 100m from their existing city practice, and delivered a comprehensive practice design, construction and fitout project. We transformed the 309m² commercial tenancy into a purpose-built orthodontic environment.

The completed practice includes eight treatment chairs, larger reception and waiting areas, improved staff facilities and dedicated clinical support spaces, all planned to support smoother movement and a better experience for both patients and the team.

Within 12 months, Supersmile Orthodontist reported a 30% increase in revenue without adding additional orthodontists or staff, giving the practice a stronger platform for continued growth.

A design render sets the project expectation. The finished building proves whether it was successfully met.

Our integrated design and construction process carries the original vision through every stage of the project. One design and construction team working together from the earliest concepts through to completion, keeping design intent, buildability and the client’s needs aligned.

The result is a finished space that reflects what was envisioned and exceeds expectations in how it looks, feels and functions for years to come.

Across 35 years, we have seen healthcare standards evolve, technologies advance and projects become increasingly complex. That experience now informs every property we assess, every practice we design and every project we deliver.

Experience matters most when it leads to better decisions, fewer surprises and stronger outcomes.

OPTIMA has developed the healthcare-specific knowledge, national capability and in-house expertise to guide projects from the earliest decisions through to completion and beyond.

Simplifying healthcare construction since 1991.

PROJECT UPDATE | Dental Practice Fitout, NSW

Since our last update, the custom façade has taken shape and the practice has moved into the final stages of construction.

Inside, the reception and clinical areas have progressed significantly, with joinery, lighting and finishes installed throughout. With finishing touches, the team is working hard ahead of handover to the client.

We look forward to sharing the finished practice soon.
